Job 6

Verses of Job 6 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Job replied:
2 - "If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!
3 - It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas- no wonder my words have been impetuous.
4 - The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God's terrors are marshaled against me.
5 - Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass, or an ox bellow when it has fodder?
6 - Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg?
7 - I refuse to touch it; such food makes me ill.
8 - "Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,
9 - that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 - Then I would still have this consolation- my joy in unrelenting pain- that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 - "What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient?
12 - Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?
13 - Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?
14 - "A despairing man should have the devotion of his friends, even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 - But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow
16 - when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow,
17 - but that cease to flow in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.
18 - Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go up into the wasteland and perish.
19 - The caravans of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.
20 - They are distressed, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed.
21 - Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid.
22 - Have I ever said, 'Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth,
23 - deliver me from the hand of the enemy, ransom me from the clutches of the ruthless'?
24 - "Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.
25 - How painful are honest words! But what do your arguments prove?
26 - Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?
27 - You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend.
28 - "But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face?
29 - Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake.
30 - Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice?
